true or not isn't the point -- when you've lost the supermarket tabs, you've lost the country; maybe even the 25 percent who still liked him on his last day in office

US Globe Tabloid: Former President Bush Is Suicidal

US Globe Tabloid: Former President Bush Is Suicidal: US Globe Tabloid: Former President Bush Is Suicidal
The former US President George W. Bush is deeply depressed and paranoid after withdrawing from his post, the US tabloid Globe alleges.
The former US President George W. Bush is deeply depressed and paranoid after withdrawing from his post, the US tabloid Globe alleges.
In a publication, the magazine, which is not known for its ethical journalism, claims that since leaving the White House, Bush has been so depressed that he looked almost suicidal.
The former First Man in the US and why not in the entire World could not become used to the thought that international politics and those of his county no longer depended on him, according to the publication.
The eight-year White House stay had turned Bush into a megalomaniac, something he finds hard to fight and overcome. In addition, Bush is scared of Obama and own wife Laura, and looks for consolation in his old friend, the alcohol. Bush is boozing up a storm, the Globe contends.

Perhaps the Quebecois seperatists? There would be explosions, machine guns (gun skills being crucial to the presidency), half naked women not their wives, and um, ponies. Yes. Ponies. That sparkle.

It's safe in Canada because there's not much chance of the current Conservative government cooperating with an attempt to prosecute them. Unlike Spain: [www.washingtonpost.com]

But I tend to be naive when it comes to Canadian politics, mostly because usually it's so dull.

In related news: did you ever get the feeling that the whole shebang is rigged?

Under Article IV of the United States Constitution, Canada is subject to and belongs to the United States (but not necessarily within the national boundaries or any individual state). This includes tracts of land or water not included within the limits of any State and not admitted as a State into the Union.
The Constitution of the United States states:
"the congress shall have power to dispose of, and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property of the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be construed, so as to preclude the claims of the United States or of any state." - Article IV
Congress possesses power to set territorial governments within the territory of the United States. The power of congress over such territory is exclusive and universal. Congress legislation is subject to no control. The U.S. Congress is granted the exclusive and universal power to set a United States territory's political divisions.
George Bush is our advance man.

Note to Gawkerites: on behalf of my nation, I apologize. We're normally much funnier than that, even when we're looting and burning your White House. I can demonstrate if you'd like.

Scratch the shiny, cynical surface of a Gawker commenter and there's a precious offendable underneath. Canuck13652 made a simple point and all you act as though your own outrage at his/her outrage is some fucken badge of honour.
Okay, that's enough from me... continue your mutual masturbation session.

His appearance at a conference in Hainan, China counts, or no?

I'm going with the same plan, this way it won't be a surprise.

The problem with pensions is that they encourage worker retention to a fault. Companies don't want workers bouncing from job to job once something slightly better comes along, but they also don't want employees of 20 years half assing it just for the pension.
Pensions were part of an old social contract where you find a company to work for and stick with it until you retire (or die). Both companies and workers did whatever they could to make the partnership work. Probably as a result of growing individualism in the 80s, workers started changing jobs based on what interests them, not obligations. The 401(k) was an individualistic approach to pensions.
What never became mainstream, but sort of exists, is a healthcare analog to the 401(k). That's part of the reason for medicare, but some say will be insolvent in 10 years, so consider yourselves warned.

When people realize these aren't two mutually exclusive concepts, they can begin to have a more rational debate. It's not like socialism is fire and capitalism is water for fuck's sake. I prefer to think of them and more yin and yang. OHM....
